Za'atar Spiced Almonds

From Nicole Perry, POPSUGAR Food

Ingredients

1 large egg white

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 1/2 teaspoons za'atar

2 cups almonds (10 ounces)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a half-sheet pan with parchment paper or a Silpat.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. Add the salt and za'atar, and whisk to combine. Add the almonds, and toss to coat.

Spread the almonds out into an even layer on the lined half-sheet pan, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until dry and fragrant.
